This has more to do with Belly-bitches schzizo use of Hernandez, which purposefully eliminates Welker from plays. Belly-bitch has some issues with Welker- i don't get it, Welker is phenomenal.
Rex had jack shit. Just like I'm waiting for Jets fans to keep saying the Jets are still keeping parts of the Tebow-Cat a secret. It's over. It's a failure. There was no extra special shit we were holding back on. EVER!!
That's a good point. I thought for sure that you'd beat us today, and I also thought Tebow would be a big part of it. All season I've watched your games wondering when you'd release this guy to go off for you. As our game approached, I also wondered if you were intentionally holding back your real plan for him until you played us. Similar to when Sparano first debuted the Wildcat against us so that we were caught off guard. Now, I'm simply wondering why you got him at all. I figured with your banged up RBs that he'd play more, especially in the redzone. Nope. Kind of weird. He must be still on his rookie contract right? Why devote a lot of dollars into a guy for that little return.
I thought Trufant on Welker is kind of a twist. Your taking your 3rd or 4th best corner and putting him on one of Brady's favorite targets. If that isn't switching it up, I don't know what is
because the Jets brought Tebow in as a PR move to help get the media attention back on them after the Giants had just won the Super Bowl. If the Jets beat the Giants in week 16 last year, Tebow is not a Jet today, I can tell you that. I don't know that the Jets ever had intention of giving him a meaningful role. Honestly, it was a garbage move from a football and personal standpoint, they should have just let him go to Jacksonville.
I thought the Jets just did a decent job of taking him away alot of the game. They started throwing the WR screens to him because the Jets were taking the middle of the field away. As far as Tebow goes, the Jets plan for him was embarrassing. Take a shotgun snap and run into the line? Picking him up was a waste if that's the best you can do. If you have some secret plays to run with him, then break them out against you top rival when your also 3-3! Pretty big geme, eh!
I hear what you are saying, but the point of this thread is that the Rex was going to unveil something that was the biggest risk of his coaching career. They did a nice job, but nothing earth shattering at all. "Kind of a twist" didn't do it.
Yeah rookie contract still. He is good on special teams so for a 4th round pick you got a guy that could be a back up QB , burn some timeouts as a decoy for the other team and convert fake punts. I would not say that that is a little return because most 4th round picks either do not make the team or have short careers (most not all obviously).
All the guy said is Rex was doing something gutsy and a huge risk. And he turned out to be correct, but everyone here couldn't wait to get on this guy so even after he turns out to be correct about something gutsy happening, everyone still rips him. It's just part of the narrative since people assumed he was full of **it.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I thought Rex did a good job today. Considering the major disparity in talent a few plays go our way and we are alone in 1st place. In the last 3 games we have had a chance to beat probably the two best teams in the AFC
I'm guessing the risky moves were having Trufant on Welker and Davis taking 75% or so of the snaps over Bart Scott?
